Oakley K. Morton, a Crown Point
boy attending the Chicago university, recently won distinction for himself and this city by winning first honors in the lower junior extemporaneous speaking contest in Mandel hall. Morton's subject was "Athletics at the University of Chicago," and Mr. Morton is said to have handled the subject In such convincing and finished manner that there was no difficulty in awarding him first place in the oratorical contest. The prize was a three months scholarship in ,the university and is prized highly besides the honor which attends the winning of the contest. Neal Brown, son of John Brown of the First National bank and owner and general manager of the Brown ranches on the marsh, was hurried to Wesley
hospital in Chicago yesterday morning suffering from an aggravated case of appendicitis. Mr. Brown submitted to an operation during the day and reports last evening from the hospital were encouraging, stating that, he had rallied from the operation In a satis- ' factory manner to the attending sur geons. Mere Lake county couples . secured marriage licenses at the clerk's office during the last week than In months previous, Wednesday proving a big day for the license clerks. Among the licenses Issued to the better known peo
ple in Lake counfey were: George Pana'
Summers. Hammond; Miss Frances Brown, Hammond. Leo A. Knoerzer, Hammond, to Hannah Conroy of that city, and LondortU D. Heminger of West Africa to Miss Edna Michael of Lowell. The funeral of George Cottrell occurred yesterday afternoon, the body being brought from his home south of Crown Point and buried in the Crown Point cemetery. The services were attended by a large crowd and the sympathy of the community was extended
to the family of the deceased in their
great affliction.
Mr. Miller Calkins and Miss Calkins of Jatiesvillo, Wis., are spending a few days in Crown Point, the guests of J.
J. Wheeler and family.
Mr. and Mrs. George E. Jones of Chi
cago spent Thanksgiving day with A. A, Sauerman on Clark street. One of the largest crowds ever as
sembled at Central Music Hall attended
the big ball last evening. Over seventy five couples enjoyed the dancing to the playing of a Chicago orchestra. . Yesterday was observed in the usual
Thanksgiving manner with the giving of many private dinner parties. No football game for the afternoon deprived the sport lovers of their usual Thanksgiving day game. Clarence Fleming and wife of Chicago visited with Crown Point relatives yesterday. John Bonder of Chicago spent yesterday the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hack on Joliet street. Dr. Houk and Jack Horst kept up their record in shooting ducks and geese this year, getting twe've fine mallards the other day in a short space of time. The other nimrods here are anxious to now what kind of bait
the two use.
STATE
WIDE INTEREST
TEMPERANCE
MEETING
TIME HIRE. AT NT ATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 1. Much interest is taken in the state wide meeting which will be held here next Tuesday by the temperance people of tho state, the object of which is to outline a plan to be followed in the coming state campaign. One of the interesting developments is the fact that Hugh Th. Miller, of Columbus, has been selected as the .Republican to preside at the afternon meeting. A Democrat will preside at the evening session, but his name has not yet been announced. Liquor An iVsue.
The announcement that Miller has accepted the honor of presiding at the meeting has given rise to much speculation as to the effect it will have on his chances to land the Republican nomination for Governor, which to thi-? time has appeared to be practically
within his grasp. There is such a large
element of Republicans that do not
want to get the liquor question tangle I up with the coming campaign that it
Is hard to tell Just how they will ,laKe to Miller's action In this regard. There Is no longer any question, however,
about the liquor question being the
livest question before the two old parties in this state today, and some of Miller's friends are saying that Miller will not lose anything by taking part in this 'state wide temperance meeting.
According to rep6rts received in th last day or two large delegations are coming to this meeting from many of the counties of the state. Blr Tenth Delern. It is said that a trainload will comr
from Tenth district counties on tha Monon railroad, and that other special trains will bring large crowds in from
other places. Interurban railroads
Iiave been asked to put on many additional cars for that day. Kokomo. it is said, will send not less than 200, while several other cities also havc-
sent word that they will have larg;
crowds. In Grant county arrangements have been mado to hold
primaries to select the delegates tha will come from that county to th' meeting. This shows the degree o
interest which is being taken in the
meting in various parts of they state
The full list of speakers has not yei. been announced, but it will include
both Republics and Democres-. Stotnenburfc In Race.
Word has been brought to this city that Senator E. B. Stotsenburg, , of New
Albany, is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor. He was talked of for ths
nomination for Governor some timt ago, and Senator Steve Fleming of Fort Wayne tried to get him into the
race, but the effort failed. Stotsenburg
decided to not be a candidate for gov

J. C. Peterson of Valparaiso was a business caller here today. A. G. Keifer of Chicago spent a short time here today. The Thanksgiving raffle was held at the barber shop evening- before last and a number of the boys ate turkey and goose yesterday in consequence. Daniel Walters visited at Schererville yesterday afternoon. While on his way from Ross to Griffith yesterday, afternoon in his light auto truck, Hubert Holmes met with an accident. The truck h was driving skidded when it struck the E.. J. & E. railroad crossing, just east of town, and upset, pinning Prof. O. Steifel of Ross high school under it, while Mr. Holmes and his brother Arthur were hurled out of the car and badly bruised. The car itself was wrecked beyond Immediate repair. The party were on their way to attend the Thanksgiving shoot held by the Griffith Gun club, and when Prof. Steifer emerged from the debris not seriously hurt, and the other two found no bones broken, they hauled
their guns out of the demolished car and proceeded the rest of the way on to the club grounds on foot. And as evidence that they had not lost their nerve, their scores were among the best. The shoot given" by the Griffith Gun club on Thanksgiving was attended by a large crowd. There was quite a number of contestants and some good scores were chalked up. Clarence Hutchins of the Erie office force carried oft all the highest honors. The fol
lowing are some of the best scores: Shot At. Broke. Clarence Hutchins. 100 SO Blaine Hutchins ...100 61 Hubert Holmes .....50 28 A. .Holmes 50 29 Floyd Bothwell 25 J 5 Charles Walters, an expert trap man,

forced to make a declaration on the temperance issue at its state convention. However, this may be, there is a fear on the part of some that Miller will lessen his ehances to land the nomination by his activity along this line. Miller, however, is thoroughly independent. He feels that he is doing right by taking a hand in the fig'it for temperance, and he is just the kind of man that will go ahead and do what he believes is right, no matter whether anyone else like sit or not. To AmIc for County Option. One of the matters that will come
before the meeting will be the norse-
rcent of a plank declaring in favor of the re-enactment of the county option law. This much is said to be certain. But the meeting may even go father
and declare in favor of state wide pro
hibition. At least it is said that this
question will be presented to the mee;.-
ng. and that it will be given consideration.

A number of very poor families were
given relief yesterday by those who aided in the distribution of the gifts
of the pupils. Still others not in such dire" poverty, but to whom the articles distributed came as a great blessing, received the benefit of the ..Thanksgiv

That awful sourness, belching of acid and foul gases; that pain in the pit of the stomach, the heartburn, nervous ness. nausea, bloating after eating, feeling of fullness, dizziness and sick headache, means indigestion; a disordered stomach, which cannot be regulated until you remove the cause. It isn't your stomach's fault. Tour stomach is as good as any.
Try Cascarets; they cure indigestion, because they immediately cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the decomposed waste matter and pc'son from the intestines and bowels. Then your stomach trouble is ended forever. A Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning a 10-cent box from any drug store will keep your entire family feeling good for months.

because the Republican party will be ernor. The announcement that he is in
the race for lieutenant governor wat
made here by a New Albany Democrat
who said Stotsenburg told him he was a candidate. It is the belief or some
here that this may help Samuel M
Ralston to land the nomination for
Governor. Ralston is from the centra
part , of the state. Congressman Boehne, his opponent for tne nominatio nfor Governor, is from Kvansvilie, in the extreme southwest part of the state, while Stotsenburg is from tha Ohio river line. It would not oe reasonable to suppose the Democrats would nominate Boehne for Governor and Stotsenburg for lieutenant governor, because both are southern Indiana candidates. If Ralston is nominated Stotsenburg might stand a chance. But with Boehne he would not. Stotsenburg is a strong man and will be likely to give a hard fight to Clay Metsker. of Plymouth, and W. P.

The man was taken to Mercy hospital in Gary, where he died without regaining consciousness. The report went over the wires' that an unknown man had boarded the Twentieth Century limited with, an infernal machine. Telegrams were sent ahead to catch the train in the hope that the crew could explain how the man managed to leave the vestibuled train while it was traveling full speed and who he was. The train crew had no information. None had so much as seen the passenger. Rrai Rreelpt (H-ytn flew. Then a search of the man's pockety revealed a. rent receipt signed by Edward Watkins and made out to P. Schohl, 9010 Houston avenue. South Chicago. Word was sent to tiie South

There was no family by the name of
Schohl living at 9010 Houston avenue.
The police kept on searching. They found P. Schohl's widow at 8906 Hous

Won Id Ply All Season. Judge Walter J. Riley gave some interesting figures as to what the amount of business in less than carload lots which the Lighterage company could expect, and he showed where it would be greatly to the advantage of a company of the kind Mr. Wait represented, to locate here. J.. E. Thropp also spoke In favor of the proposition. Everybody present seemed of the opinion that a better express
service is needed here and that if a
company prepared to provide it was located here it would be of benefit to
the merchants and a paying proposi tion to the concern so locating.

when such a boat could not have entered this port. The idea is to reclve all freight at the docks, both outgoing and incoming, up to 6 p. m. and make the trip back and forth after this hour, being ready to deliver the first thing In the morning. The railroad corrpanien are not ' prepared to receive freight, It wa represented much after 3 .Vclock. so articles prepared for shipment late than yils hour, cannot under present conditions be delivered In East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, until next day, arriv

CRACUMEX GET NOTHING. Cracksmen blew the vault of the Monroe State Bank at Monroe, Adams county, thirty miles south of FtWayne, early Wednesday, but wero driven off before they had suceedeJ in penetrating the safe. Half a dozen men were in the gang, and It is believed they escaped by boarding a northbound freight train on the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad. The Ft. Wayne police were notified, and are keeping a sharp lookout for the burglars. The charge of nitroglycerin, which blew the door off the fireproof vault, awakened many of the cltlenzs, among them Town Marshal Martz. They ran to the bank and the yeggmen took to their heels, covering their retreat by rapid fire. Martz fired several shots, but none seemed to take effect. The bank secetary, W. J. Smith, said this morningthat a few papers were missing, but they could not tell which ones.

East Chicago's Poor Have a
Happy Thanksgiving as a Result.
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago. Ind., Dec' 1. Children in the public schools had an opportunity on Wednesday to experience the Joy of giving to others less fortunate than themselves. Superintendent K. N. Canine had let it be known among the principals of the different buildings that the United Charities could make use of money, outgrown and castolt clothing, foodstuffs and other things calculated to help out the poor and the destitute with a hard, cold winter before them. Mr. Canine did not require the principals to ask for contributions, leaving It optional with them as to whether they should conduct a campaign in their schools for these things. However, the principals and the teachers all fell In with the plan. and the pupiis in turn entered into U with enthusiasm, although it was explained to all of the classes that the contributions
should be altogether voluntary on ti.!r par-and that no child should give un
less the parents were altogether in accord with the plan.. And such an outpouring, of provisions, clothing gn,i even in some cases cash, as was the result! At the McKinley school perhaps the contributions amounted to the most, but at the Lincoln, the Wallace and the Washington schools there were liberal donai'ns; The offering was greatly in excess of what had been expected by those responsible rorit. Much food was given. Including potatoes, apples, canned goods, flour etc. At the Wallace school a live chicken was one of the offerings made. There were also a few dressed chickens and these and the other perishable articles were distributed on Wednesday and during yesterday, the police being pressed into service In the distribution. The staples and clotlrtng were put away and will form the nucleus of the stores from which the United Charities will draw instead of purchasing from the merchants Later St Is expected they may4iave room in the city hall in which to place the donations received by the organization. Superintendent E. N. Canine was much i pleased at the spirit displayed by the children in this charitable work. "All of these things," said he.

When you use Crisco for frying, you will see the difference atonce. For example, French fried potatoes are not soaked in grease. They have a golden brown crust and are mealy white inside. f Crisco heats to such a high temperature it fries food in half the time. Fried potatoes fry in AXA minutes, instead of 10. Corn fritters in from 2 to 3 minutes, instead of 5. Doughnuts in from 1 to 2 minutes, instead of 3. Fried chicken in from 18 to 20 minutes, instead of 30. Croquettes in 1 minute. Order a package of Crisco and use it for frying one food after another. Each is improved by this "dry" frying ; made digestible instead of indigestible.
